The leader got up quickly. After two setbacks against two teams in the second part of the table, Roanne (92-93) and Paris (78-83), Boulogne-Levallois resumed its march forward on Saturday during the 17th day of Betclic Elite. The Metropolitans 92 won against Strasbourg (85-80) not without difficulty but are now guaranteed to finish the first leg in first place.
62 points pour le duo Cummings-Hunter
The players of Vincent Collet, who was facing his former club for the first time, relied on a sparkling duo. Point guard Will Cummings (30 points on 9 of 13 on shots, 6 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals) and center Vince Hunter (32 points on 12 of 15, 10 rebounds, 4 steals) had 62 points of 85 of their team.
Opposite, Strasbourg, which had recovered well from a complicated start and was trailing 27-11 in the first quarter, ran out of gas in the last period that SIG had attacked with a two-point lead (561 -59). Point guard John Roberson settled for three points, lost seven balls and was taken off for five fouls in the final minutes. DeAndre Lansdowne (16 points) and Matt Mitchell (14) were the two best Alsatian scorers.
